/var/log/messages

I've just popped that in.

I think this is exactly what I'm looking for. So far I see no milter-regex
messages in my /var/log/messages file while they are showing up in my
/var/log/maillog file.

Also, a restart of apache and crond still shows those messages going to
/var/log/messages which is what I want.

I'll keep monitoring over the next day or so but I think this is what I'm
looking for.

Thanks mate!

Michael.
